Me neither, and one of the reasons why I have "neglected" the Zettelkasten functionality for quite some time now is that I believe I have a better solution to that instead of automatic backlinking (but the idea is never to automatically change files, but instead build a Graph - yet I have to read more papers on these computer linguistic things in order to make the idea a reality) ![]() I'm not a big fan of heirarchical data structures You can actually do this in the preferences! It would be nice to have the ability to configure the linking syntax Plus, I want to make it right, not fast … (I can't hammer in new features like I used to because the user base has grown considerably, so the app needs to be much more stable and is less a field of experimentation :/) It may look great, but Zettlr has a big difference to Roam: It does not work with a database but with real files, and changing these takes a lot more time than a simple database. That being said: It's something that's been on the bucket list for some time now, but it will take a considerable amount of time to implement. There are a lot of things to think about - where to put the backlinks? How? How not? Edge cases, etc. This is not to be considered a bug and such issues may be closed! Suggest an enhancement instead!īut now, have a great day and thank you again! Please note that if you encounter behaviour that does not align with your expectations of what would happen, this might as well be simply intended behaviour and we need to simply clarify why the behaviour is the way it is. We know exactly what specifically goes wrong, and there is consensus on The bug is always reproducible, at least within a certain context.The ideal bug report for us has two qualities: Please note that one of the main reasons for why bug reports cannot be addressed is that there's not enough information for us to find and fix the bug you describe, so make sure you try to pinpoint the bug as close as possible. You can of course always ask someone to implement this feature, because a PR with a working new feature has much higher chances of being merged! :) Bug reports It likely has nothing to do with your great request but simply with us and our missing resources! Please do not be disappointed if that happens. This requires a lot of work, so these might be turned down if the implementation costs supersede the benefits we expect to see from implementing it. Please make sure to argue how your proposition will aid non-technical text workers, and why it can't be emulated easily with other features or apps! Feature requestsįeature requests introduce whole new features into the app. In the meantime, you can check your issue and make sure it aligns with our contribution guidelines! Here's the comprehensive list: EnhancementsĪn enhancement takes a feature and improves or alters its behaviour. Thanks so much for opening up your first issue here on the repository! □ We would like to warmly welcome you to the community behind the app! ☺️ We'll check in soon and have a look at your issue. I think this feature along with the one currently going through as a pull request ( #178) to create new files in the event they don't exist, would make the workflow of adding new notes and navigating through those that are related, the ideal experience. I could manually put the backlinks in but then I'm really slowing down my productivity when making notes. I'd like to fully adopt Zettlr but the inability to traverse related files is a bit of a bummer. I'm not a big fan of heirarchical data structures and I use Markdown as a form of knowledgebase alongside TheBrain. Given the craze around Roam Research and the ability to do backlinking, I think it would be a good enhancement. It would be nice to have the ability to configure the linking syntax alongside that which you can currently do. I'd like to be able to use the current default syntax ( ]) to do one-way links and the varient of ]] to have the backlink generated. If you don't use the new syntax a backlink won't be added to the destination file. I think this would be best suited as a varient of the current linking syntax. It's really cool to see truely opensource tools being developed actively :) DescriptionĪbility to have Zettlr automatically prepend backlinks to beginning of destionation files in the event they are linked to from another file. ![]() Very briefly, I've just discovered Zettlr and I have to say, it's absolutely awesome.
